  • Are Union Members More or Less Likely to Be Environmentalists? Some Evidence from Two National Surveys

    Open AccessTodd E Vachon, Jeremy BrecherARTICLELabor Studies Journal2016Cited by: 3References: 8

    This study examines the relationship between unionization and environmental attitudes and behaviors in two national surveys. We begin by comparing the responses of union versus nonunion respondents to sixteen environmental questions in the General Social Survey for various years between 1993 and 2010. Overall, union members are, on average, slightly more likely than the general population to display pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors—havin…

  • Climate Insurgency: A Strategy for Survival

    Jeremy BrecherBOOKClimate Insurgency2015

    Twenty-five years of human effort have failed even to slow climate change, let alone reverse it. Climate Insurgency lays out a strategy for protecting the earth's climate: a global nonviolent constitutional insurgency. This short book starts with a brief history of official climate protection efforts "from above" and non-governmental ones "from below" that explains why climate protection has failed so far. Then, it proposes a global nonviolent in…

    Open AccessTim Costello, Brendan Smith et al.ARTICLEJapan focus2007

    A major debate is underway in China on a proposed law that would grant new rights to Chinese workers. The debate has not been widely reported outside of China; until recently it has been almost entirely ignored by media in the United States. But when the Chinese government opened a 30-day public comment period this spring, it received nearly 200,000 comments, the majority from ordinary workers. But some comments also came from big U.S.- and Europ…

  • The Power of Shop Culture: The Labour Process in the New Zealand Railway Workshops, 1890–1930

    Open AccessErik Olssen, Jeremy BrecherARTICLEInternational Review of Social…1992Cited by: 1References: 5

    This paper investigates the history of the labour process in New Zealand's state-owned railway workshops and questions the idea that large-scale industry inevitably destroyed whatever agency skilled workers had enjoyed. It also shows that relations of production vary with the political and cultural contexts. Craft control of the labour process survived in New Zealand's state-owned railway workshops and the union played only a minor role. Jop cont…

  • Extracting valid sexological findings from severely flawed and biased population samples

    Edward M Brecher, Jeremy BrecherARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research1986Cited by: 9

    Since publication of the first Kinsey report (Kinsey, Pomeroy, & Martin, 1948), statisticians have repeatedly criticized human sexuality surveys on the ground that they are not based on probability samples. But sex surveys are not public opinion polls; they are inquiries utilizing the same scientific techniques relied on in the biological sciences generally: the initial sample of convenience, the comparison‐group study, cumulative confirmations a…

  • Crisis Economy: Born Again Labor Movement?; Comment: Making History But Not Under Circumstances Chosen By Ourselves

    Jeremy Brecher, Diane Montgomery et al.ARTICLEMonthly Review1984

    The U.S. economy is going through a transformation that is fundamentally altering the situation of American working people. It is removing the majority of workers from relatively secure job structures and thrusting them into a semi-casualized labor market. It is destroying the existing bases of power for both union and non-union workers.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.…
